Reince Priebus, chairman of the Republican National Committee, issued some words of advice for fellow GOPers: Get in the 21st century with same-sex-marriage issues.

We do have a platform, and we adhere to that platform, Mr. Priebus said in a USA Today video. But it doesnt mean that we divide and subtract people from our party who favor gay marriage.

I dont believe we need to act like Old Testament heretics, he said in the USA Today video. Rather, Republicans have to strike a balance between principle and grace and respect.

His statements come as the U.S. Supreme Court is due to hear two cases on gay marriage  one on a California-voted ban on same-sex marriage, and the other on the legalities of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which bans the federal government from giving marriage benefits to same-sex couples.

His statements also come at a time when politicians from both sides of the political aisle are renouncing their past objections to gay marriage. On the Republican side, Sen. Rob Portman  an Ohio conservative with traditional values  just flipped on gay marriage, in part, he said, because of the recent revelations of homosexuality by one of his sons.

"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldnt make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan

"A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792

"It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Why not? It is inevitable. It’s going to happen. We are in the last days. Everything that was bad and evil is now good. Everything that was once good and moral is now bad. But the Bible tells us to beware about good and bad switched. We are to remain faithful and true, no matter what society says.

Good old Prince Reibus selling out the Republican party. He learned his methods well from his predecessor Michael Steele. What a bunch of losers as the head of the RNC starting with Jim Greer who preceeded Steele. Greer a criminal that got off easy with a plea deal.

This is a development the major conservative talkie (radio talk show hosts) have yet to even mention....

When the democrats decided to remove God or any reference to Our Creator at their 2012 convention. They also demonstrated they are no longer the democratic party of your fathers father. They have become a hyphenated radical unit and should be known as Demo-Coms dedicated to the establishment of a collective idealism using the device of PCP to modify behavior and shed beliefs that they believe would impede remaking their concept of the perfect utopian state. That is hardly democratic because the word democrat idealizes the individual voice.

But Rove, GOPES (GOP Elite Snobs) and RINOS lack the capacity or the understanding or the courage to point to the historic radicalization that occured at that moment and use it politically. Worse yet they are unable to forthrightly defend what the demo-coms have set out to destroy and some are even comming up with their own version of PCP . Anyone preaching PCP is going down the poisonous road to oblivion . Following a policy of PCP. Politically Correct Politics which the hyphenated democrat party, the Demo-Coms,is using is flat out wrong.Worse yet moral questions such as marriage, sexual practices, family constituency and particularly beliefs those of containing Judeo Christian tenets are being assulted and not defended. That offers a majority of voters no choice in the direction this country is to take.

PCP when used by the Demo-Coms such terms as: Afro-American, Hispanic-American, Asian-American, White-American, Rich-American ,Gay-American, are more than simply nouns but vehicles used to separate US from each other. Beside separating US from our money the Demo-Coms demand we become adhearents to a system without the constituional constraints on government. Thus surrendering our protections from governmental abuses and excessive bureacracy to the will of a bureaucratic collective which is no longer answerable to the average citizen.

If this fellow is not removed from the next campaign soon, he will help assure it is a loser like the last one.

1. The majority of Americans, when they are permitted to vote, are almost always against “gay marriage”
...
2. It is not, or it should not be, the R party’s role in life to just ask “how high” when the D party leadership says, “JUMP!”

3. That’s especially problematical now that the D party leadership has been usurped by a small extremist element not supported by the majority of the D party membership (yes, they vote...but when polled on policies they do not agree with much of what this “progressive” or communistic element is pushing -— nor do they support the subversise (anti-American, anti-Judeo/Christian, anti-Western Values being pushed on the country by these “haters” ...)

4. He also displays a mistaken religious sensibility and/or knowledge. Jesus did not come to replace or cancel God’s Law, indeed he expressly so states. His moral teachings are fully consistent with those of his scriptures, those that he read, recited, and taught (and which are really better called the “Hebrew scriptures” rather than the “old testament”), and ...the “new testament” (or Greek scriptures) provide direct teachings that are at least consistent with those he mentions, such as in 1 Corinthians and 1 Timothy. At the very least I’d suggest that R party officials avoid careless, or for that matter, any Biblical allusions unless they check them out carefully first. We need only look as far as 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue to see what can happen when a person without genuine Christian or Biblical knowledge tries to “use the Bible” to implement his particular political agenda.

All my best,
fhc (ps: Portman was never my idea of a good R candidate anyway)

This is becoming a racist stance from the chairman of the RNC and the judges. They are expressing the same concern in which they are accusing of us doing. They claim some do not support gay marriage because of our biblical teachings. Isn't that our protected right to our religious freedom and freedom of expression and free speech. Violent acts under the law will be accountable, right. So, now they tell us to shut up and go out of the way in the public to ridicule our belief; to even judge us. Only certain people seem to fit into their circles. This has been an eye opening experience to see how really bigoted they are towards people of different faiths. Michael Steel said to Newsmax, the insiders of the GOP are not wanting the party to be religious. He's right on that. This story confirms it to me.

The “gay” agenda is all about destroying religious freedom. They’d love nothing better than to burn the bible as a “hate” book and make it a crime to speak out about their perverted life styles, er, death styles.

Wouldn’t you love to know who is giving him these talking points..Jeb...focus groups in the Northeast?? They will never get a penny from me as long as they do this..they call all of the time pleading for money because I had donated to them for many years along with volunteering... many hours and helping them in so many ways. Days I was sick, I helped them. How dare that little man and the media tell that me they know I am a bigot. He has no damn clue about many of us. Might blow his mind if really knew.

Proof that the Apostle Paul was Godly inspired with the undeniable truth found in Galatians 5:9 - “A little leaven, leavens the entire lump”.

This nation is about fully leavened - and the political ruling class of the GOP prove that they too can be leavened with the sin of Sodom. And now they dictate to those who follow God to compromise with sin for the sake of political expedience because in their minds - we dare not go against the tide that leavens the culture with abominations.

Sexuality is no basis upon which political power can be shared. Any attempt to do so will simply result in overwhelming dysfunction and the loss of civil society
and mutual kindness.

There is a relationship between creating life and bringing children into the world, to forming a family container to raise them properly to eventually take their place in civil society. Creating such life is one of the few devine acts allowed to human beings.It forms the nucleus of civil society. It is this nucleus which any political power based on sexuality seeks to destroy.

Only fools would allow such destruction. Anyone seeking political power based on sexuality should realize that the Constitution does not provide for such political power. Political power is limited to citizenship in the United States of America, political power does not originate in sexuality of any sort. Sexuality is not mentioned anywhere in the Constitution. It is an a-sexual document.

Reince Priebus, chairman of the Republican National Committee, is a complete IDIOT !!! The New Testament records the wrath of God on homosexuals who dishonor their bodies between themselves, namely, it is Romans 1:24-32. And the last verse, Romans 1:32 "Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death..."

So when Reince Priebus coins the lie : I dont believe we need to act like Old Testament heretics, and that Republicans have to strike a balance between principle and grace and respect. This idiot completely fails on two counts:

1. Old Testament heretics - it is heretics that reject the truth of God and Christ and Romans 1:24-32, "Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death...". God is the one who judges them already. Therefore, Reince Priebus is the heretic here in this matter, not others.

2. God's Grace and respect is specifically taught in the New Testament by Jesus and the Apostle Paul.

Reince Priebus best read the Word of God in Romans and get his heretic soul our of Hell:

Romans 1:24: Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

Romans 1:25: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

Romans 1:26: For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

Romans 1:27: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

Romans 1:28: And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

It's true that we shouldn't rely on Old Testament verses to make the case for our side.

However, what Reince is really saying here is conservatives who forcefully argue against gay marriage are overzealous and we should avoid confronting the left on this issue in public. More proof that Chairman Unpronounceable Name needs to go and should have been dumped a while ago. I hope all the freepers who backed this guy have buyer's remorse by now.

Since more Freepers seem to be having a come to Jesus moment with the GOP andthe need for principles thanks to the Homo issue, I’d like to extend to them an invitation to give those already there a hand in telling the GOP fanboys and excusemakers that always seem to have a reason to support them regardless of how egregious the crap they spew, to....

POUND SALT.

Each and every time they start screaming and calling us Obama supporters and traitors and the rest of the absolute bulls$hiX we have to deal with daily. Because soon enough, YOU will be on their hate list.

Everyone go the site and make your comment to the Chairman of the RNC. I have been reading there. Good comments and reasonable complaints (( or call his office today )) Don't let him get away with this.

Here’s the deal, a lot of men with money and power are also sexual deviants and probably take trips to S. America or SE Asia to get their rocks off then come back here to do their job on Capital Hill or from the legal bench.

OF course these pervs want same sex marriage, most of them are closet cases or a good number are anyway. Not to mention kid touchers or whore chasers.
